LibreELEC

What is LibreELEC?

LibreELEC is a lightweight Linux distribution purpose-built to run the Kodi media center software on current and popular media center hardware. As an evolution of the popular OpenELEC project, LibreELEC provides a streamlined, "just enough OS" approach tailored specifically for Kodi, offering familiar features and functionality to existing OpenELEC users. The project is governed by an elected board of active team members who manage project goals, priorities, and task distribution to maintain the collaborative nature of the endeavor. LibreELEC aims to establish a consistent release schedule, blending stability and cutting-edge development, with a focus on addressing user and security issues through maintenance updates. Committed to a non-profit model, the project relies on public funding and sponsorships to support its goals, and minimizes advertising on its website and forums
